One of the closest bouldering areas to my home is Cougar Canyon in Vernon. Boulderers around the Okanagan tend to agree that Cougar has one of, if not the best concentration of quality bouldering in the region. There's not a ton of problems, but with over 100 established problems on amazingly featured Monashee Gneiss, the climbing is great. Just walking up to the warm-up cave gets you stoked to boulder in the canyon. The cave is very overhanging with juggy buckets and great movement. It's unlike almost anything else in the Okanagan.
Anyways, it's well worth a trip into Cougar to sample some of the goods. Here are a few pics of our trip in one beauty fall day.
